FANTASY DRAFT DESK NEWS BRIEF
WHAT IT DOES

What is a fantasy draft wheel?

A fantasy draft wheel is a customizable random picker for manager order, draft slots, player categories, keeper prompts, team labels, league challenges, and agreed tie breakers.

Add the options allowed by your league, spin where everyone can see the result, and use the wheel for draft-night choices that benefit from a visible random process. The wheel organizes selections; it does not evaluate players or guarantee fantasy results.
